Sounds a bit like Maplin.
Me: "Have you got any 74LS573s in stock?"
Salesdroid: "Forty seven at the warehouse"
Me: "Let me rephrase that - have you got any 74LS573s *here*?"
Salesdroid: "Er... Two. I'll just go check the drawer"
Salesdroid: [5mins later] "We haven't got any left."
Me: "How long would it take to get one from the warehouse?"
Salesdroid: "A week."
Me: "You're kidding..."
Salesdroid: "Nope."
*sigh*
Later.
